Hart, John

New Mantra

Guitarist John Hart returns to the classic guitar-bass-drums trio format for his seventh SteepleChase release. After several adventurous outings, New Mantra marks a melodic homecoming, reuniting Hart with longtime collaborators Bill Moring and Tim Horner. Known for his lyrical phrasing and harmonic depth, Hart emphasizes melody and clarity, crafting originals like "Think" and "Abyss" alongside fresh takes on standards such as "Stella by Starlight" and "Some Other Time." With over 100 sideman credits and decades of leadership, Hart continues to shape modern jazz guitar - blending tradition, intellect, and soul in every note.
